The ‘Study Area’ refers to the area included on Figure 1. 1.3 The objectives of the landscape and visual appraisal are: • To assess the landscape character of the Site and its context and the function of the Site within the wider landscape, particularly in relation to existing landscape designations and policies. • To appraise the visibility of the Site and the nature and quality of existing views towards the Site. • To assess the potential of the Site and its landscape context to accommodate potential development in terms of landscape and visual opportunities and constraints. • Make recommendations for a suitable landscape strategy which assists with absorbing the potential development within the landscape and providing a network of green infrastructure. Methodology 1.4 The methodology employed in carrying out the LVA of the Proposed Development has been drawn from the Landscape Institute and the Institute of Environmental Management & Assessment's Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment' 3rd Edition1 (2013) also referred to the ‘the GLVIA3’. The aim of these guidelines is to set high-standards for the scope and content of Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIAs) and to establish certain principles that will help to achieve consistency, credibility, transparency and effectiveness throughout the assessment. 1.5 The GLVIA3 sets out the difference between Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) and Landscape and Visual Appraisal (LVA). The preparation of an LVA has the rigour of the LVIA process but looks to identify issues of possible harm that might arise from the 1 Landscape Institute and Institute for Environmental Management and Assessment (2013) Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 3rd Edition 29533/A5 1 11th June 2020 College Farm, Shortstown Introduction development proposal and offset them though change and modification of the proposals before a fix of the final design scheme, rather than assessing the impacts that will arise from them. In summary, this LVA has been used as a tool to inform the design process, rather than an assessment of a final proposal. 1.6 The assessment of landscape and visual effects, in common with any assessment of environmental effects, includes a combination of objective and subjective judgements. It is, therefore, important that a structured and consistent approach is adopted to ensure that the assessment undertaken is as objective as possible. 1.7 A landscape appraisal is the systematic description and analysis of the features within the landscape, such as landform, vegetation cover, settlement and transport patterns and land use which create a particular sense of place. A visual appraisal assesses visual receptors, which are the viewers of the landscape, and could include locations such as residential or business properties, public buildings, public open space and Public Rights of Way (PRoW). 1.8 A desktop assessment of the Study Area was undertaken, including an assessment of landscape character, landform, landscape features, historic evolution, policy and designations. This information was used as a basis against which to compare the findings of the Site assessment. 1.9 The Study Area has been confined to an area approximately 3km from the Site. This distance from the Site was chosen based on existing features such as landform and vegetation, settlement morphology and land use patterns. This is considered a sufficient area to establish the landscape and visual baseline and to allow the appraisal of the Site and its context. 1.10 A brief description of the existing land use of the Study Area is provided and includes reference to existing settlement, transport routes and vegetation cover, as well as local landscape designations, elements of cultural and heritage value and local landmarks or tourist destinations. These factors combine to provide an understanding of landscape value and sensitivity, and an indication of key views and viewpoints that are available to visual receptors, which are then considered in the visual appraisal. 1.11 The Site has been considered in terms of the following: i) Landscape Character ii) i.e. landform, vegetation cover, land use, scale, state of repair of individual elements, representation of typological character, enclosure pattern, form/line and movement iii) Visual Influence iv) i.e. landform influences, tree and woodland cover, numbers and types of residents, numbers and types of visitors and scope for mitigating potential for visual impacts v) Landscape Value 29533/A5 2 11th June 2020 College Farm, Shortstown Introduction vi) i.e. national designations, local designations, tranquillity / remoteness, scenic beauty and cultural associations 1.12 The following illustrative material supports the landscape and visual appraisal: • Figure 1: Landscape and Visual Context Plan • Figure 2: Topographical Features Plan • Figure 3: Site Appraisal Plan • Figure 4: Landscape Character Plan • Figure 5: Opportunities and Constraints / Development Principles Plans • Site Appraisal Photographs A-G • Site Context Photographs 1-11 29533/A5 3 11th June 2020 College Farm, Shortstown Landscape Baseline 2.0 LANDSCAPE BASELINE 2.1 The Site is formed of nine irregular agricultural fields (F1-F9), equating to 67.7ha, adjacent to the northern, western and southern settlement edge of Shortstown, as shown on Figure 1: Landscape and Visual Appraisal Plan and Figure 3: Site Appraisal Plan. Settlement and Settlement Pattern 2.2 The Site lies predominantly on the western and southern edge of the settlement of Shortstown. The small village of Cardington is situated 0.5km to the north-east of Shortstown, forming part of a series of small to medium villages spread regularly across the valley floor between the Greensand Ridge and the edge of Bedford. With the exception of Cardington, which is older in character, these settlements are heavily influenced by post-war residential development. 2.3 Shortstown is a modern settlement, dating from the early to mid-20th Century and was initially built to accommodate workers at the then airship yard. It was built to the south of historic development situated in Harrowden, now Old Harrowden Road. As such, the development west of Tinker’s Hill and south of Old Harrowden Road is mid to late-20th Century. The oldest areas are those around the Crescent, Greycote and North Drive, together with the Shorts Buildings, which was the focal point of the original model village, the earliest buildings of which date from 1919 and which are red brick and neo-Georgian in style2. The buildings do not appear on the OS maps at the time due to the sensitive nature of the Cardington site during the war3. 2.4 Further development occurred in the south-west of Shortstown, around Shorts Avenue at the turn of the 21st Century, including the recreation ground by High Road, shown as completed
